Public bug reported: Since Noble, toggling the Bluetooth slider repeatedly and leaving at the ON state seems to only power on and unblock rfkill on the controller, but not enable scanning. This makes the "Devices" list shows no devices, as if the controller wasn't functioning.
This is observable on both Dell XPS 13 Plus and HP Elite Book 1040 x360 with stock Noble image. Note that if leave the Bluetooth slider on, switch to another tab in settings, and switch back to the Bluetooth tab, this will somehow activate scanning again. New devices will pop up again in the "Devices" list. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081672 Title: Scanning not enabled by the Bluetooth slider To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/2081672/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
